  • George Rebane It turns out that you can fool most of the people, most of the time – a truth long known to politicians, lawyers, and journalists. Yesterday DNI James R Clapper released ‘Assessing Russian Activity and Intentions in Recent US Elections’ dated 6 January 2017.  This 25-page report was supposed to supply the long-awaited…

  • George Rebane The ground shaking shock of 8 November 2016 is not going away; it is getting stronger if anything.  And as Team Trump unveils more of its projected policies and planned programs, America’s socialists along with their well-placed elites are getting more and more scared.  Why?  Because with each described initiative it looks like…

  • George Rebane Having strong or well-formed political beliefs doesn’t always mean that one is also willing or able to reason about them. Now some keenly honed liberal minds around here think that we should consider the source and therefore ignore the evidence against Hillary.  That’s like telling the DA he can’t prosecute because the police…

  • George Rebane The Left’s raw hatred of President-elect Trump and his supporters knows no bounds.  The man is not yet sworn in, and already leftwing artists are going out of their way to proclaim that they will not perform at his inaugural.  Not long ago, being asked to perform at a presidential event was considered…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 December 2016.] Fifty-five years ago President Eisenhower warned America about the military-industrial complex which he saw had an “unwarranted influence” on our polity.  In the years following, this notion became a rallying cry for our liberals.  But since then the bogeyman…

  • George Rebane By all accounts according to the progressives’ definition I am an islamophobe.  My apprehension of Islam’s colonization and eventual conquest of the west has been well documented in these pages.  The ill-read and uneducated leftwingers have taken such apprehensions to be the outrageous screeds of a minority back country white knuckledraggers.  It is hard…

  • George Rebane This evening the latest report from Fox News on the Michigan recount just came in, and I’m sad to say that progressives have been right all along that requiring voter IDs diminishes the minority voice and vote.  The latest piece of evidence comes in from Detroit, a solid minority leftwing city under Democrat…

  • George Rebane Disagreeing with a progressive's view on an issue automatically identifies your 'hatred' of the cause, principles, values, ethics, and/or people involved. More kudos for Mr George Boardman for his excellent apologetics about the recently passed Measure B school bond issue that appears in today’s (12dec16) Union (here).  I will believe that the monies will…

  • George Rebane The recent election did nothing to unite us as Americans.  Half of us are still shocked that the election didn’t turn out as ‘everyone’ was told it would.  And as the shock wears off, the losing side is not about to take President-elect Trump and the victorious Republicans lying down.  At all levels…

  • George Rebane Kudos to Mr George Boardman, Union columnist, for his excellent article in this morning’s paper on the pipeline brouhaha at Standing Rock.  He takes to task numerous groups of people assembling there with various agendas trying to make hay on the concerns of the Dakota and Lakota Indian tribes.  The factors are complex that…
